Capcom Pro Tour is now giving pot bonuses to ranking events. Last year, only Premier events got pot bonuses.

I can't remember what day it was unfortunately.

But as a quick summary:

- Floe talks shit about how garbo Rashid is, calling him the El Fuerte of SFV and saying he would never ever play the character
- His stream badgers him into playing Rashid
- He spends 5 minutes in the lab before saying fuck this and jumps into ranked
- Match #1: Tampa Bison. He bops Tampa free
- Match #2: Alex Valle playing Rashid. Bops Valle free
- Match #3: Lamerboi playing Rashid. Bops Lamerboi free
- Match #4: Arturo Motherfucking Sanchez as Dhalsim: Bops Art free
- At this point it's clear he is the chosen messiah of Rashid, the stream monsters dub him Floeshido. He freaks out, gets mad and shuts the stream down.

I'm done for the day, this is all I needed to read.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think that's just Dreamhack and not Capcom giving out that bonus. They've always given out guaranteed bonuses for their SF4 tournaments in the past. I think they had 2 ranking tournaments last year in other parts of Europe that included a decent bonus. The only time they didn't add to the pot was Dreamhack Winter from just last November when the only prize was the money from Capcom because it was a Premier Event.

This is the stream by the way.

Matches with top players start at 3:24:45

He doesn't play them all in a row, nor does he beat Tampa Bison, but he does flip out when he goes on a win streak and beats Art, while we all regaled him with "FLOE SHI DO!!"

Think that's coming from Dreamhack's pockets.

You're probably right. I just remember Dreamhack Winter's lack of a pot bonus outside of what CPT gave and assumed it was the same case.
 
Oh, they are up. I'm going to order myself.

Edit: Oh, thought you meant the average price was $50 per night, including weekend. $86 average per night isn't that bad still.

Yeah, sorry. Was in a rush. I only booked Sunday night at the Luxor. Don't want to trek back to the Westgate.

It was $49 for the night.
